Why Fixed-Beam Proton Therapy Requires Advanced Motion Control
Precise alignment is critical in fixed-beam Ion / BNCT therapy. Even minimal deviations in patient positioning can shift the beam path and compromise dose accuracy. The following points show why advanced motion control is essential for consistent, high-quality treatment delivery.
Limited Flexibility in Beam Delivery
Traditional fixed setups restrict beam direction and require complex repositioning. The RPS Fixed Beam enables automated 6DoF correction to maintain alignment with the target isocenter.
High Construction Costs
Rotating gantries increase cost and size of treatment bunkers. A fixed-beam setup with robotic positioning reduces building volume and shielding requirements.
Complex Isocenter Alignment
Without 6DoF control, even small misalignments affect dose accuracy. The RPS Fixed Beam maintains beam geometry with submillimeter correction.
Variable Patient Positions
Seated or supine treatments require adaptable motion control. The RPS Fixed Beam supports varrious angles, ensuring reproducibility and patient comfort.
